Remember the new wings that 2ne1 got from Scott? Now I just saw the newest short music video of 2NE1 - Go Away Japanese version, and you could beaaaarrr with meeee..!! Coz they are wearing those gorgeous Jeremy Scott Fall 2011 Ready To Wear Collection..!! Aaaaawwww..!!

I read about this new restaurant about a month ago but just got time to visit it yesterday, Plate For Me.

It wows me when I first went in. Just look at those plates with random pictures on all over the wall! There's a drum filled with wine bottles, and the lamp in the corner is cool! It was made of a totem cups. The interior is awesome. I even like the ceiling, hahaa.. I know that some of the decorations are actually quite simple, but here in Bandung, you will not see this kind of decors everyday. That's why I'm very happy when I find some.. (^▼^)

A few minutes later..
I went to the toilet and glad to have the same theme inside, they also put plates on the entire wall. But a minute later I found out that the pictures on the plates are stickers. Well I'm not saying that was not good, I get it, have a print on a plate is a lot more expensive, but the thing is, I really believed that those plates are printed, so I was a little bit disappointed, just a little..

Until the foods and drinks came.. That was the time when I got more disappointed. I got a few points here..
Sats ordered a Fettuccine Alfredo. First of all, all of us are agree that the fettuccine was overcooked. And another thing that bothered me were the peas. I never had fettuccine alfredo with peas. Broccoli maybe works, but peas? I don't really thing so..

Here is my fave, Spaghetti Aglio E Olio. Amen ordered it, and the spaghetti was just a little bit undercooked. What's up with the chef?? However, overall this dish taste good. :)

I got myself a Caesar Salad, but it looks like the kitchen is running out of ingredients. I mean, where is the egg, and the chicken, or the smoked beef?? I only got some slices of fresh lettuce, onion, and tomato, with a pinch of parmesan and some sliced toasted bread and the dressing.

And let's wrap the last ones quickly..
I didn't really like the Manggo Combo (or Manggo-something, I forgot its name), they put too much water so it taste flavorless. The Iced Mojito was also flavorless. Well, I kinda taste the lemon (since a huge part of it was flying in my glass), and the soda, but not the mint! And oh please, why did you guys used a damaged mint? It has brown spots on the mint leaves! (--___--)
The Bruschetta were really not good at all. The baguette sliced too thick, the pepperoni stinks, fatty minced beef, I'm so sorry but those 3 bruschetta were the worst dish on that night..

No offense, but this is just what is happening throughout yesterday night. And for the record, that was the first time that my request got rejected in a restaurant. I was asking if the spaghetti aglio e olio could be replaced by fettuccine aglio e olio. I thought it was a simple one. But if that was the chef's provision, I could only bear.

So, after that night, I have to deal with my need-to-be-pleasure eyes, nose and stomach. Now looking for some nice food for this weekend.. I think me and Sats are going out with the girls again next Sunday, we'll see.. Have a nice weekend everyone! (^.^)

Just bumped into this article on designboom.. It might just a small plot, but they designed it so well that it looks bigger. Could you believe that this simple white house is just approximately 36 m2?

I love how they use so many glasses, it makes the room looks wider.

And the sky lights are gorgeous..

A rock climbing inside the house?? hell yeah! :D

This dwelling is designed by a collaboration of Japanese architecture practice be-fun design Tsuyoshi Shindo, Kohei Iwasaki, and Tota Abe of EANA for a couple that - I believe - love climbing so much that they really wanna bring the rock into their living room. I love how they put colorful climbing holds on the wall.This house is a total fun! (^o^)/

Happy wedding for Ratna and Decky! I left my camera inside Hoodie (let me introduce you to our car: Red Hood :P) so I didn't get any picture of them, I'm very sorry. We were quite in a rush this morning, got back from the last day of Ensiklopedisain (it's the 3rd PDA, an event that was held by the Product Design students at itenas Bandung, I'll tell you guys later about the event..) at 5 in the morning, wake up nearly at 10, getting ready and then finally drive to the uni in the afternoon. Yeah, we have to go to uni first because I left the wedding gift there, clumsy me..

Anyway, here is my sketch for the dress that I wear today.

I got the batik printed and chiffon more than a month ago, but I just drew the design last week, bring it to the tailor, and took it from them yesterday morning. No time for any correction, and I just tried it this morning and really shocked that the dress is just went wrong in the last minutes, noooooo!! I didn't get a picture of the wrong dress since I've got no time doing that this rush morning. I just took some pins and pined here and there to fix the dress problems and tadaaaa..!! Here is how my (should be long) dress looks like after those fold-and-pin thingy..

No time to fix the cardigan, no time searching for belt, it is just what it is.. but I'm quite happy for the result, the dress is not really bad at all, hohoooo.. (^.^)

100 Ideas That Changed Fashion chronicles the most influential fashion ideas that changed womenswear in the West from 1900 to the present day. The book will be visually arresting, exciting to read and an inspiring fashion bible. Charting the incidents and ideas that changed the way women dress, it gives a unique perspective on the history of twentieth-century fashion. Rather than just documenting the changes in fashion, it also explains why these changes happened. From the invention of the bias cut and the stiletto heel to designers such as Coco Chanel who changed the way we think about clothes, the book will be entertaining, intelligent and a visual feast.

Fashion Designers' Sketchbooks provides a revealing insight into the
design process of some of the major names in the fashion industry.
Garments on the catwalk are juxtaposed with lookbooks, original research
material, and finished illustrations, giving a new perspective on the
working methods of leading international designers. This unique approach
makes the book a fascinating resource for both students and designers.

A visual feast of 400 dazzling images, this is a comprehensive survey of
the genre over the last century. The book also offers an overview of
the development of fashion, as seen through the eyes of the greatest
illustrators of the day. Early in the century fashion illustration
reflected new, liberating currents in art and culture, such as the
exoticism of the Ballets Russes, while the postwar period saw
inspiration from the great Parisian couturiers. After the dominance of
the celebrity fashion photographer in the '60s, a new generation of
illustrators emerged, embracing the medium of the computer, while many
returned to more traditional techniques.
